- UPDATE -Oh my gosh.. just like last time, Garena update right away after hack released.
If you're using dummy account with no worries, just simply replace new updated plugin.gzz, GEngine.dll, and CTSys.dll with the old ones.
Or use Universal MapHack

Q: How much longer do you realistically look at DotA as something that you want to put your time into and update?

A: I honestly can't see myself stopping anytime soon; It is the only game I really play so I get a lot of satisfaction out of working on it. I think there are a lot of areas to further improve and build upon. I hope for the game to reach new heights competitively and have a much bigger audience overall. I tend to go out of my way to make sure I don't put myself in situations where I can no longer develop with the freedom and quality needed to take it to that level.

Q: How do you decide what to change? Are you trying to make the game faster or more gank oriented?

A: I don't think of things that way exactly. While that is usually true, it is not accurate to consider it as the root philosophy that drives everything. DotA's primary strength is in its depth and the moment to moment decisions it places in front of the player to make. There are also many non-obvious pitfalls that could seem like good ideas, but actually hurt the game's true depth. My primary goal is focused on improving the quality and depth of the game and not other superficial metrics of success. I want players to always feel there is a lot to improve upon and to encourage situations where a player is rewarded when he is able to make better decisions than his opponent, which is something I think even non-competitive players value. That is the core of what a competitive game should be after all, creating more opportunity for good decision making. There are, of course, many other factors that are considered for all changes, but this is usually the first priority.

Q: Why did you remove the combat regeneration from Heart of Tarrasque?

A: It was a very specific choice to completely remove combat regeneration from it rather than just reduce it. While it was a nerf, that wasn't the primary goal. The problem with trying to measure the value of regeneration on Heart is that it makes your success in a fight depend at least partially on how long the fight lasts. The core issue is more about what it promotes rather than it allowing you to survive. It encourages the wrong things and doesn't reward players who make better moment to moment decisions as much as it could. It removes some depth from the game and makes it a little less interesting over all. If the item needs a certain amount of tanking power, it is much more direct to add more hit point bonus to the item instead of doing it via a method that obscures the ability to measure the balance of the item.

This is more about the design philosophy the item should have, rather than its actual numbers or power, since I consider those as solvable problems if you have the right design to start with. In general, I prefer to lean towards creating a situation of long term solvability to issues. Some things might be knowingly imperfect but done in a manner that increases measurability to allow it to settle in a better place in the long run.

Q: How can I help improve the game itself? Are you going to add my suggestion if I send it?

A: The best way is to give feedback; I always appreciate getting suggestions from players. While it isn't practical to expect a specific idea to be used (because of the large number of people with different perspectives), it doesn't mean that they don't get factored in. For me, it isn't always about the specific suggestions as much as what the player is thinking about and how they measure value. Most changes are usually a compilation of many different sets of data and requests over time. I tend to avoid listening to only one type of player. By "type of player" I do not mean competitive or casual at all, I mean the segment of player groups that use different mediums to express their views. There is a very large portion of users that would go unaccounted for if that was the case. Data comes from a variety of different sources, such as: emails, forums posts, replays, joining games with players from different cultures, direct dialog, etc. There are a lot of different types of players and they tend to value things very differently, so it is important for the concept of success or failure not be tunnel visioned to only one medium of opinions.

Q: What will happen with the -switch command?

A: To be honest, I'm not sure yet. It is a tricky issue. On one hand, I want to remove it because in many cases, it causes more problems than it solves, and it creates an uncomfortable situation for players. On the other hand, a lot players find it very useful, and people have just slowly started to get a better understanding of when to use it and not to. I might implement something that freezes the leaver items and gold until the team decides if they want utilize -switch or take the resources, but of course that is only one aspect of the command. While it is an optional game mode now, I do recognize that it will eventually need to be addressed somehow.

Q: Why you are making new heroes with hard and interesting skills when there are many old heroes with trivial stuns and auras?

A: There is a balance that needs to be maintained between adding new content and improving old. Some players (like me) prefer refreshing old heroes, but others grow attached to older heroes and prefer them to not be changed. The important thing to keep in mind when thinking about a remake is trying to make sure that the qualities players enjoyed in that character are maintained for the rehash. That isn't always possible, but it is something that needs to be considered. Furthermore, sometimes there is more value in simplicity, not everything basic always needs replacing. New skills might be interesting, but needless complexity should also be avoided whenever possible. I try to find a middle ground between remakes and new content so all players can be reasonably satisfied in the end.

Q: Which way to send ideas and bug reports is the most preferred and most likely to reach you?

A: I prefer email the most because I can sort and organize stuff better as well as being able to respond more easily.

Q: Have you considered the suggestion to make Invoker's orbs not interrupt movement?

A: I know a lot of people have requested this in the past. This feature was actually implemented in 6.63 before I had to remove it due unresolved technical issues. Warcraft 3 does not provide a straighforward way to do this, so I used a few tricks to achieve it, but it made command registrations unreliable so you would sometimes get incorrect orbs if you clicked too rapidly.

Q: Do you have a schedule for day/week/month, according to which you are working with DotA?

A: Well it has been different over the years, between studying, programming and college research taking up different amounts of time. I generally try to make a new beta map every day to experiment with, so it's usually just a chunk of time each day rather than spaced out. It changes from month to month, though.

Q: Do you have any plans to restore custom "-terrain" commands (snow, etc.) in the near future?

A: I could spend more time on it in the future if users want it that much, but I recommend trying out some tools that community members have written. They do more direct modding to Warcraft and can allow more changes than normally possible within a map to create a more coheesive theme.

Q: Will there be a new easter egg map soon?

A: What easter eggs?

Thanks to everyone that emailed me their questions. If you didn't see yours listed here and would still like me to answer it next time, let me know.

- Medusa's split shot uses a bear form spell as base with a transformation time of 0.1 seconds just like Troll Warlord, because of that you are also able to dodge disables with switching it on/off.
(For those who doesn't know, you can avoid storm bolt or any similar skills with Troll's transformation, and so do Medusa)

- Contrary to popular belief, Truestrike from MKB stacks with other criticals on ranged heroes. You will not see the red critical numbers, but you still benefit from them. Though this only occurs when you acquire Truestrike after another source of Critical Strike.

Visit DotA fact 1 and 2 if you never seen it.

I started working on 6.64 a couple days ago. At first we began experimenting with some number tweaks to the boots, and even some ideas for secondary bonuses that seemed interesting.

However, we found out that there is a technical issue with Phase Boots. They seem to prevent procs like crits, bashes, etc while phased. It was never as apparent before because it was not coupled with attack speed. This makes the Phase Boots a bit anti-synergetic.

While there may be workarounds for that bug, most would probably come at the cost of some functionality. So while still keeping with the primary no armor concept, I am exploring a new buildup for Phase Boots and Power Treads. Keep in mind that numbers are still at an early stage and this change is by no means final, but I'd like to share one version of what we are experimenting with.

Features:
- MapHack for 1.20e, 1.21, 1.23, 1.24 and 1.24b that works on Garena
- It does NOT modify any Garena files, so there's no "cracked version" issue
- Undetectable (Use it with normal Garena)
- There maybe a bug in Vista causing W3 to close when using "reveal invisible units"

Here is cqccyh's comment for GarenaHack 5.7 (Updated), also he leaked some Private GarenaHack info.

cqccyh: Even megaexp is working , you can't use them on your old account because this hack is detected by hidden checker.
So you will pay 49 GG shells for 10k exp LOL
For now, go create some dummy accounts and enjoy maphack.
Thats all this hack can do.

Btw I have figured out hidden checker, and all my accounts are safe in second & third banlist.
I'm just having fun to watch those people who uses Russian Community's hacks and fear to get ban :)

Changelog:
- First update to 6.63b
- Fixed an issue that was causing AI bots to learn their abilities out of order
- Fixed another issue that was still causing the game to crash when a player leaves the game early
- Added some additional AI ability functionality (Crystal Nova, Storm Bolt, Mana Burn)

Garena is currently experiencing database problem which affects the server that's why nobody can connect to Garena Client. People who were connected before this problem are still connected in the server. Garena Admins are now working on it and we are hoping that this problem will be fixed ASAP.

We are banning the 3rd round of accounts that have been discovered to be violating our Terms of Service, by using unofficial or cracked versions of the Garena Client. The bans on the accounts will be effective immediately. This is to continue to safeguard the platform against abusive gamers and create a better environment for the rest of the Garena community.

Here are some helpful tips you can take to avoid getting banned.

1) Practice caution in letting other people use or borrow your account. They might be using a cracked version on the game. If they logged in your account using a cracked version, your account will get banned as well.

2) Check out the Garena version being used in cyber or LAN cafes. If it's a cracked version, DO NOT LOG IN with your account. You can help other gamers by informing the cafe owners to uninstall the cracked version and use the official Garena platform.

3) Avoid visiting Garena crack websites. As it's in the nature of their website to defraud and attack other programs, they might be aiming for your account as well.

Always remember to download the official Garena version from website, www.garena.com. Do not accept any files sent to you claiming to be official versions. This might compromise your account and lead to a ban. If you are unsure of your version, you can uninstall and re-download the Garena client on the website.

This is an update of EXP Hack v3.35.0.2 RUS, but this version they use new method to bypass Garena protection.DER_SYSLIK said next version will be megaEXP with 12 servers for $10Advice: Don't use if Garena updates

Changelog:

Flash back when Garena GG-Client still worrying how to get more traffic & users, hacker uses the method of edit Garena.exe. (CRC changed)

Quick explanation - CRC is like a fingerprint of the file, just like humans will never have same person with same fingerprint.

After GG-Client got plenty of traffic and users, they changes name to Global-Arena, or "G"arena.

"G"arena was eager of money, they starts sale products like 1 year GoldMember, Clothes, Ladder reset, Clan enlarge, and many more.

They still act like a pig, purposely let hacker removes the 5 seconds join room.
Why? They wants you to enjoy the feel how you can benefit from GoldMember's instant join room.
(That time not many people buy GoldMember)

Then when "G"arena uses CRC hidden checker against hacker, no more 5 seconds removed, this can attract you to buy GoldMember.
(This is what happened recently)

Introduction end, now Private GarenaHack.
cqccyh uses a driver maphack and make a same level hack that reverse what the GEngine.dll has done.
Garena could do NOTHING on it.

In future, cqccyh's GarenaHack will be cracked again eventually :)
(Subscribe to receive future updates)

Instruction:
1st - Download & extract into Garena main folder
2nd - files with a *.org* are copy of original backup, you can ignore them (mdata.org.ggz, GEngine.org.dll)
3rd - After that start Garena.Owned.exe
4th - Now you can run TyranO 1.24b MH fixed either before or after Warcraft III.

Changelog:
- Temporarily removed managed group system to remove critical error bugs until I get a chance to clean up group usage in the AI script
- Rewrote Liquid Fire to prevent conflict with the AI script
- Fixed a bug with Weave
- Fixed a bug with Spirit Bear losing items when the ability is levelled
- Fixed a bug with the game crashing when a human player leaves the game early
- Fixed a bug with Cold Snap not working after the first hit
- Fixed a bug with -ma

They put hidden checking to record if you're using unofficial or cracked Garena, then they don't banned you instantly and bait more of you accounts out as you thought it's working.

When time is right, they banned all together in once yesterday and twice today.

I saw a lot of unknown GarenaHacks keep release non-stop, and I'm here to tell you...
Don't download & try it's just waste of time!
Of course it works, but your UID & actions will be record, and you will be banned later.

For now, just wait for "new SAFE hack"
Not keep on trying "new DETECTED hack"

We are banning the 2nd round of accounts that have been discovered to be violating our Terms of Service, by using unofficial or cracked versions of the Garena Client. The bans on the accounts will be effective immediately. This is to continue to safeguard the platform against abusive gamers and create a better environment for the rest of the Garena community.

He(cqccyh) recently made a post that he released the GarenaHack v4.08
I(GarenaHack-er) asked cqccyh if this program, that had a few viruses was made by him?
He replied "so you dont trust my work? it doesn't even connect to the internet."

Now, I'm going to tell you what is the truth about this hack.

The archive contained 1 file GH4.08.exe that the idiot cqccyh made it!
This file is actually composed of 3 parts:
- 1 part is the GH408.exe application
- 1 part is the installer for Cerberus-Server.exe, which is used by cqccyh to HACK your computer!
- 1 part is the actually GarenaHack4.08.exe

So when you start his program it installs a FTP server called Cerberus-Server on your computer!! He encrypted the actual code of the Cerberus-Server.exe to hide it from anti-viruses!! 077d=M etc...

You banned your private users from Garena and now you release programs that can control a user's PC, and you quote "don't you trust me?"

Pay him fools for GarenaHack ! HE'LL ONLY GET YOUR ACCOUNTS BANNED AND YOUR COMPUTER HACKED!

- UPDATE -GarenaHack-er: I was banned because I over-reacted when I found a release of GarenaHack 4.08 program that had a FTP remote admin inside and I cursed cq a bit too much :)
I was ban for a limited period for disregarding forum rules, I flamed cq :D

- UPDATE 2 -
It was all a mistake, cqccyh didn't check that file and tells GarenaHack-er right away "Don't you trust my work?".
Actually, that file already modified by someone.
This case is crystal clear now, both of them are great.

This video is not meant to show off skill, but rather show how very little things can decide the outcome of the battle, proper item usage, how you can use these tactics against other players, and above all else, for your entertainment.

1. Remade login page
2. Now the program resources are loaded at the beginning
3. Added styling Windows
4. Redesigned hack
5. Menu of the program and what is new now called by another
6. Refined features: - Maphack (1.23), (IU), (spambots)
7. Added autoclicker, works so far - everywhere! (Not only in the Garena)
8. MapHack - 1.24 * called from a folder (temporary job)
9. MegaEXP - runs on two servers (with the next version of MegaEXP will be paid and will run on 12 servers)
10. Completely removed all advertising
11. Garena client works perfectly
12. Basic icon is replaced by Sap.Admina (Feel our love)
13. lite EXP.exe
14. Ongoing

Use it at your OWN RISK!

Username: beta
password: beta

If jumps out ERROR PATH FILE ** ERROR 75-76 a swing
Download this run 1 time and then delete.

Also, do not run Garena.exe manually (only run EXP.exe! Otherwise your ACC will be banned)

cqccyh: nothing is undetectable if it is in public
if they put a hidden checking just like what they did to cracked garena
then ban the users after couple of days
what u gona do?
well i can make a cracked garena without any offset writting and etc
it is for real undetactable
just wait

GarenaHack-er: GarenaHack private 4.07 was not public :) They banned users using that version only.
Don't blame it on me, Cqccyh :)GarenaHack-er: GarenaHack v3.3 Remade does not use a cracked garena version and it doesn't crack Garena. With Garena Anti-Hack ByPass it's safe for now.
(Detected after Garena 17 September update)

As you can see, Russian Community's hosting keeps server down.
Then, CjFOR made an announcement for GarenaHack 5.7 named Satisfy the hunger.Note: this translate is not 100% correct and I shorten it.
(Already confirmed from CjFOR)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For now, GarenaHack 5.7 will sell for $2~3.
Until I, CjFOR gathered $15 to buy a new hosting.
Then only GarenaHack 5.7 will be public free download.

Anyway, here's a preview of GarenaHack 5.7's megaEXP.

Instruction:
1st - Open _helper.exe
2nd - If you see advertisement (click to help earn $$ or close it)
3rd - You will see megaEXP tool now!
